Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5x - 2 = 55
5x = 57
x = 57/5
Let

using a graph tool
see the attached figure
The figure is a triangle
we know that
<u>The Heron's Formula</u> is a method for calculating the area of a triangle when you know the lengths of all three sides.
Hero's Formula is equal to

where
p is is half the perimeter of the triangle
a,b,c are the lengths of the sides of a triangle
so
Step 
<u>Find the length sides of the triangle</u>
a) <u>Find the distance AB</u>

Substitute


b) <u>Find the distance AC</u>

Substitute


c) <u>Find the distance BC</u>

Substitute


Step
<u>Find the perimeter of the triangle</u>

<u>Find the half of the perimeter </u>

Step 
<u>Find the area of the triangle</u>



therefore
<u>the answer is the option </u>
a) 1.65 mi^2.
You have to consider the sample space. In this example the sample space
is {1,2,3,4,5,6}
A simple event can be defined as a SINGLE outcome : Example getting a 3 OR 5 OR any other number from the sample space.
Now if you roll 1 dice & you want to get an even number (2,4,6) then you have chosen from the sample space 3 outcome & this is a compound event
Equally if you roll 2 dice and want to get "one" and/or "three" this is a compound event since you have chosen 2 outcome from the sample space.
Mind you, if you want 5 And 5 when rolling two dice it's a simple event because you have chosen ONE outcome from the sample space.
Hope this will help you to understand this kind of problem
It would be C as the answers
